EDIT: Looks like most of the great deals are gone. Though there are still a few around apparently. Keep an eye on the comments.

Crazy cheap price to LA from Sydney or Melbourne (and Brisbane as commented below)

I've plugged in a few dates and seems that there are fares available for most of October and November 2015. Also getting reports for fares this cheap in December and January.

Also, awesome prices to New York, had to work a little harder to find dates for that one.

Adelaide to LA is coming in at about $786AU.

Other reports of fares to London / Paris / San Fran are mentioned in the comments for under $1000.

Try using the search function at http://www.skyscanner.com/ the ability to search the whole month makes it a little easier to find the cheap fares.

UPDATE 2:

2/7 4:40PM:

Hi everyone, just an update following yesterday’s glitch where mistake fares were incorrectly offered for sale by some US based online travel agents.

Apologies for the confusion. The glitch was fixed at 11:30am AEST, however I'm pleased to let you know that Qantas will honour the bookings in this case.

Woo hoo!

UPDATE:

12:58PM:

An update for you savvy AFFers celebrating Xmas in July with these mistake fares: they’re not valid and have been removed from sale. We’re currently following up affected bookings.

Expect bookings to be cancelled shortly.

      ? since when did they do this for qantas

      • mrmagoober on 01/07/2015 - 11:09

        If you click on the baggage information link it will advise you the specifics of the carrier you are flying with. I tried this with emirates and the details advised that you could carry 30kg of baggage and carry on.

        I think it is a catch all phrase that stops people complaining when picking carriers like Airasia etc.

      If the tickets get honoured, I think m0nk3d deserves the post of the year prize - I missed out but looks like lots of people got tickets. Getting something delivered from China for $1 is exciting, but this was massive.

  • smoothymcmellow on 01/07/2015 - 08:54

          I call Bull, no chance you can the Disneyland Parks in LA in 1 day. Some rides take over a hour to get on….. you must have done nothing or had tiny kids so only went to the single area.

          As others said LA for family. N.Y. for singles

        • Brianqpr on 01/07/2015 - 11:56

          I'm not sure how waiting an hour to get on a ride can be deemed as enjoying yourself!

        • dandandan on 01/07/2015 - 12:25

          @fefris:

          Only did Disneyland and off course we didn't go on every ride and yes had toddlers. If you went with kids say 5+ up to teenagers you may want to go for longer however one day is/was enough for us.

        • [Deactivated] on 01/07/2015 - 09:32

          It is a computer programming error. They forgot to add the fuel surcharge. If Qantas hasn't already realised their error, they will soon enough when people start calling them for a price match. Their IT guys will then fix the error in no time.

        • dandandan on 01/07/2015 - 09:35

          @rd:

          Looks like fare has gone. Booking through Priceline was/is genuine with fare showing up in my QF account. Shouldn't be able to be cancelled with US DOT policy on mistake airfares.

        • RockyRaccoon on 01/07/2015 - 11:47

          @dandandan: Guess what this may not apply anymore

          http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2015/05/10/dot-no-lon…

          In a reversal of the previous policy, airlines can now cancel flights booked at a mistaken fare — provided they can prove to the DOT that the fare was filed incorrectly. Airlines also need to reimburse travelers “who purchased a mistaken fare ticket for any reasonable, actual, and verifiable out-of-pocket expenses that were made in reliance on the ticket purchase, in addition to refunding the purchase price of the ticket.”

    FYI for anyone who knows nothing about Priceline.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priceline.com

    The Priceline Group [NASDAQ: PCLN], is a provider of online travel & related services to consumers and local partners in over 200 countries through six primary brands: Booking.com, priceline.com, agoda.com, KAYAK, rentalcars.com and OpenTable.

          true

        • RockyRaccoon on 01/07/2015 - 11:31

          Still is based on promo fares.

          i.e.. these are price errored o class fares not price errored unrestricted fares

          To answer directly here is my booking info

          Airline change penalties and restrictions apply. Most tickets are non-refundable.

          Airline Tickets are non-transferrable. Name changes or adjustments are not allowed.

    • dandandan on 01/07/2015 - 09:43

      I didn't check however I think they would be happy to cancel! has been my experience with mistake fares before, it only took a few emails and cancelled with no fees however they were Business and First fares so economy may be different.
